A song where I wallow in jealousy, and grief at the stuff I'll never have. Enjoy :)
I know, to you, it’s always as if I’m bitter
But that’s because, like you, I wish I could glitter
You bathe in your phosphorescent light
But for people like me, it’s just way too bright

I’m trying hard not to get down about it
But you’re the star(x2)

Chorus
‘Cos everybody loves you
And everybody wants you
I’m just left behind
And there’s probably a reason
That I’m always beaten
But it still hurts inside
Do you know how much it hurts
To be second best?
Don’t worry, I’ll just blend in
Like the rest

Uh-oh (x8)

You’re the fireworks that shoot in the sky
I’m the moon, defeated, stripped of my pride
Please don’t feel the need to say you’re sorry
It’s okay, you’ve already outshone me

I’m trying hard to see past it
But you’re the star(x2)

Chorus

No matter how low I get, I couldn’t bear to take your shine away
So I stay fixated up above and I immerse myself in your rays

I can’t help but stare at the sky
So enchanted by your flaming eyes

Don’t dimmer for me (x2)

A star so amazing,
A star so dazing,
A star so blazing
Shouldn’t be hidden

Take their breath away (x2)

‘Cos everybody loves you
And everybody wants you(x2)
Na na (x2)
‘Cos everyone loves you
And everyone wants you
I’m just left behind
And there’s probably a reason
That I’m always beaten
But it still hurts inside
I don’t mind how much it hurts
To be second best
I’ll stand, mouth open wide
Just like the rest
